Anecdotes
When Adrian takes Andrew to the movies, they eventually see A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985). This "Nightmare" became infamous after its initial release due to the homoerotic subtext of the film - protagonist Jesse (played by now openly gay actor Mark Patton) struggles the whole movie with being overwhelmed and manipulated by Freddy Krueger, which has been seen by many scholars and horror fans as how gay people struggle with accepting themselves in less than hospitable places, i.e. how Adrian is struggling with telling his family he's gay or has AIDS or how its suggested Andrew may be gay/bisexual as well. Also, when they're inside the theater watching the movie, the entire audience is made up of men, most of whom look to be discreet couples.

Adrian Lester: You're gonna have some tough days; days where you feel like everything sucks, and you don't wanna get out of bed; days when you gonna feel like you just don't belong. I've had a lot of those days. And I want you to know; you are not the only one that feels the way you do. There's a whole world out there for someone like you. I promise you are not as different as you think you are. And mom and dad that might not get it; all of your friends might not get it either, and some of them might say some pretty mean and awful things, because they just don't get it. But I get it, and I know that you're gonna learn to be happy... with who you are. And you may need to be at another place to be happy, and you know what? That's okay; that's why I left home. It might seem like the hardest thing to do at first , but it might be the right thing for you to do. And in another time, at another place, you're gonna meet the right people; people that are just like you. People that are just like me. So hang in there, Andrew. Things tend to get a little darker before they get brighter.

A subject still taboo

This is one of the bravest films I have seen. It stares at the subject of AIDS in the face and there is none of the ' look how well meaning I am to be in a film like this ' which can be found in such films as ' Philadelphia ' and even in some independent films which have been made over the years. All the actors are perfect in the roles and the desperation of the knowledge that death is near shown with delicacy and insight. The film's simplicity of approach is its strength and the use of black and white focused on the family issues in a way that reminded me of the concentration of Ingmar Bergman at his best. As film it worked, the black and white accentuating the draining away of colour in lives devastated back then when what I call a Holocaust was at its worst, and little hope was in sight. I do not want to single out a single actor because each and every one of them played with a sincerity rarely seen on film. In most films there are ' leads ' but there were none here, and the nearest image I can draw on is a tapestry of the times for us all to look at and to learn from. Even today stigma remains, so look closely at that inter-weaving of lives and ask yourselves how you would have behaved in 1985, so near in History, and how you would behave now. I also agree with some comments here that this film does not have a higher rating. Or for that matter there have not been more user reviews. Even disregarding the subject matter the film is compelling, beautifully made and acting that is first rate.
